This week on The Flickcast Chris and Joe are back for more and ready to get down and geeky. In this episode it’s pretty much all Comic-Con 2013 all the time as the boys recap the major happenings during the show.

They go way in depth and talk about all the things they loved, and not-so-loved, about the Con. These include, of course, the Superman / Batman movie announcement, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and a whole lot more. Plus, they spend some time discussing the power of Robert Downey, Jr., the upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, who should play Batman now that Christian Bale is supposedly done and the upcoming Simpsons / Family Guy crossover.

In addition, the boys made some picks this week including Joe’s pick of the Samsung Soundbar and Chris’ pick of the fantasy novel Magician by Raymond E. Feist.

Okay, we’ll admit it. At first, when he showed up in director Timur Bekmembetov’s Wanted as the young assassin in training, we didn’t care all that much for James McAvoy. But over the years, he’s really grown on us.

In fact, his take on a young profesor Xavier in X-Men: Fist Class is one of our favorites. Now, McAvoy is in a new movie called Filth, based on the Irvine Welsh novel.

The movie features McAvoy as a bigoted and corrupt cop who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Sounds good. We expect nothing less from the guy who wrote the novel Trainspotting.

Also in the movie are Imogen Poots, Jamie Bell, Joanne Froggatt, Eddie Marsan and Jim Broadbent. Filth is set to hit the UK in Septmenber with a US release to follow.

Check out the trailer after the break.

We were as excited as anyone when we first heard Max Brooks’ novel World War Z was heading to the big screen. It’s a great book and from the moment we first read it, we were convinced it would make a terrific movie.

Obviously, we weren’t the only ones who thought so. Cut to several years later and the World War Z movie is finally about to arrive in theaters. And even with all the troublesome news surrounding the shoot, we’re still excited for the movie.

After having already seen the trailer, there’s a new clip from the movie that’s hitting the Interwebs this week. In it we find Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his wife (Mireille Enos) and kids on an aircraft carrier. Once there some government types convince Gerry that’s he’s humanity’s last hope to stop the zombie apocalypse.

Can it be stopped? Who knows. You’ll have to wait and see the movie. Until then, check out the clip after the break and look for World War Z in theaters on June 21.

The Hunger Games. What can you say about it? Well, it was a decent book that spawned a decent movie.

It also features the very cute Jennifer Lawrence, which doesn’t hurt. Of course, there’s a sequel, and it’s called Cathing Fire.

Of course again, a new trailer for the movie dropped during last night’s MTV Movie Awards. Don’t get us started on how useless the awards are, just enjoy the new trailer.

Or, don’t. No pressure. We won’t judge you either way. Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson are back for the Francis Lawrence (no relation)-directed November 22 sequel.

Check out the teaser after the break.

We’ve gone down this road once before in 2002 with a remake of Brian De Palma’s classic Carrie, based on the Stephen King novel, and now it’s being done again. This time around the movie features Chloe Moritz and Julianne Moore, which helps considerably to peak our interest.

In case you’re not familiar with the story, it concerns a loner high school girl whose crazy mom and the mean kids at school eventually get the brunt of her blossoming telekinetic powers. IF you’ve even wished you could get even with someone bullying you, this is the movie for you.

We’re not sure any remake will ever be as good as De Palma’s original, but this trailer does help at least make this latest attempt look interesting enough so we want to know more. That’s something at least.

Carrie is due to hit theaters on October 18th. Check out the trailer after the break.
